Abstract: A signal receiver having a source of video signals includes an aperture correction system wherein an electron device coupled to the video signal source provides first and second oppositely-phased output signals which are applied to a circuit means to be differentiated and delayed respectively and applied to a summing terminal with desired preshoot and overshoot characteristics. Moreover, these characteristics are selectable by an adjustable impedance coupled to the circuit means providing the differentiated and delayed signals.

Abstract: In a television receiver having a chrominance signal channel coupled to a cathode ray tube, an automatic peak color control circuit includes an envelope detector means providing a combined chroma envelope and DC potential, a means for shifting the level of the combined chroma envelope and DC potential, a means for detecting the peak level of the chroma signal, and a means for comparing the detected peak chroma signal level and a reference potential level to provide a control signal for maintaining application of a substantially constant level of chroma signal to the cathode ray tube.

Abstract: In a signal receiver utilizing a video signal having a blanking signal with a backporch portion whereat a color burst signal is disposed includes a ramp potential development means responsive to a pulse signal as well as a potential storage, clamping, and slope altering means for effecting alterations in the width of a burst gate potential. In another aspect, a potential storage, clamping, and slope altering means is responsive to the ramp potential development means for effecting clamping of the backporch portion of the blanking signal.
